Extreme Threat
IP 107.173.171.247 is a maximum-threat address assessed at 10/10 with a 94% confidence rating, originating from HostPapa's AS36352 network infrastructure in the United States. With 324 total abuse reports and a dominant hacking activity classification, this IP represents a severe and persistent risk to any internet-exposed services it encounters.
Automated honeypot sensors detected 324 separate incident reports tied to 107.173.171.247 over approximately four months, with first reports emerging in March 2026 and continued activity documented through June 2026. The IP achieved an activity frequency rating of 8/10, indicating sustained and deliberate engagement rather than passive scanning. All 324 reports were attributed to automated honeypot infrastructure, with the dominant reported threat category being general hacking activity at 20 recent reports. The volume and consistency of these reports across multiple sensor sources establishes a robust threat profile that leaves little ambiguity about the malicious intent of this address.
The hacking classification encompasses unauthorized access attempts, exploitation of vulnerabilities, and intrusion activities. Network traffic analysis detected Suricata alerts indicating spurious TCP retransmissions, a technique sometimes associated with advanced reconnaissance or session manipulation attempts. This pattern suggests the operator behind 107.173.171.247 is using sophisticated methods beyond simple brute-force approaches, potentially attempting to exploit TCP protocol edge cases or evade detection by fragmenting and reassembling malicious traffic in unusual ways.
Network administrators should immediately block 107.173.171.247 at perimeter firewalls or edge routers to eliminate contact with this threat source. Implementing dynamic firewall rules through tools such as fail2ban can provide automated real-time blocking against repeated intrusion patterns. All internet-facing services should enforce strong authentication mechanisms, apply security patches promptly, and maintain active intrusion detection monitoring to identify and block anomalous connection attempts originating from this or similar hostile addresses.
